I have a problem handeling http chunked transfer encoding. I'm using: apache. mod_wsgi plugin. django. django, is only capable of handling reqular http request with content-length header field, but when it comes to handling TE (Transfer-Encoding), chunked or gzip, it returns an empty result. I'm thinking of 2 approaches: Making some modification to django.wsgi python file Add some middleware python file to django, to intercept any chunked http request,convert it to requelar http request with content-length header field, then, pass it to django, where it can handle it nicely. Anybody can help with any of the above 2 options (more options are most welcome of course) Thanks! This is an extention to my question after Graham's first anwer: First of all, thanks for your quick response. The client being used is Axis, which is a part of another company's system communicating with ours. I had WSGIChunkedRequest On set, I also made some modifications to my wsgi wrapper like this: def application(environ, start_response): if environ.get("mod_wsgi.input_chunked") == "1": stream = environ["wsgi.input"] print stream print 'type: ', type(stream) length = 0 for byte in stream: length+=1 #print length environ["CONTENT_LENGTH"] = len(stream.read(length)) django_application = get_wsgi_application() return django_application(environ, start_response) but it gives me those errors (extracted from apache's error.log file): [Sat Aug 25 17:26:07 2012] [error] <mod_wsgi.Input object at 0xb6c35390> [Sat Aug 25 17:26:07 2012] [error] type: <type 'mod_wsgi.Input'> [Sat Aug 25 17:26:08 2012] [error] [client xxxxxxxxxxxxx] mod_wsgi (pid=27210): Exception occurred p
